I have been making use of Forms -> My Research -> Research Notes to record progress. I know I have previously posted on this, but I have now tweaked toe columns to allow filtering by Repository / Category etc. I thought I would provide an update.  I find myself searching the same Record Collections for variant spellings and this has been really useful.

For example, during my work on the recent Guide I uploaded, I have searched for all Baptism within All Record Sets from within FindMyPast. This brought back approximately 90 hits

https://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/historical-records?region=united-kingdom&keywords=Baptisms&page=5&order_direction=desc&order_by=relevance

I have then checked each collection for an exact match of the Surname STIRK and logged the results in the Research Notes:

This allows me to concentrate on the Record Sets with the highest hits.
